« What a beautiful morning, it's definitely worth getting up and heading to the beach. This place is not just popular for casual sunbathers; it’s a haven for hardcore surfers who master the art of riding the waves with skill (it's like they perform all sorts of balanced tricks better than I ever could on land))) 🏄‍♂️🏖️ »

« Good morning everyone! 😄💖
Wake up and head out in an unknown direction, it’s worth it! 😍
And especially when the beauty around you is stunning! 😍💖💖💖
Enjoy! 💕 »

« Bali is love at first sight 😍 It’s clear that many dream of visiting Bali, including me at some point. However, many (just like me, haha) don't really realize how different Bali can be! And it’s important to know where to go to fully enjoy it ☀️

For example, February is the rainy season here, which brings a lot of debris to the beaches. But! Not in the Kuta area 😉 We stayed there for the first two days, and the beach was pristine, with gorgeous sands and azure waters! Silence, relaxation. There are some downsides: it's not very convenient for those with little ones, as the steep hills leading to the beach can be quite the hike! And often, there isn’t much to do.

If you want some entertainment, it's better to head to Seminyak! It’s full of activities like driving around in cars and scooters, cafes, shops, and nightlife! Life is lively 🔥🔥🔥 It’s suitable for families, but not in February, as the beaches can get messy this time of year.

Today we went to Nusa Penida Island - what a stunning place! If you visit here, definitely bring some beautiful outfits for amazing photos!

Tomorrow in Ubud, there’s tranquility and greenery 🌍 with chickens running around 😂 Or in Nusa Dua - a fabulous tourist area! Can’t wait to explore!

I’ll write more later about my time here ;) Bali is different, it’s beautiful! I wish everyone could experience it - let’s hope it happens!

Which area are you choosing to visit? 😉 »

« I have gigabytes of impressions and photos from my trip to Bali. I've already told many people in person, and I'll say it again - I honestly didn't expect it to be this amazing! I'm now recommending it to everyone. 😊 »

« Bali... A land of gods and temples. Personally, I felt like I was inside a Japanese anime, "Spirited Away," when I found myself surrounded by endless stone monsters, deities, dragons, and other creatures, adorned with palace decorations and ancient temples. And I don’t mean a special place where all these wonders gather. Here, in every yard and little courtyard, lives its own indescribably magical reality. »

« Unbelievable place!!! Insanely beautiful! Even the rain didn't spoil the experience! I can only imagine how it looks when there isn't a single cloud in the sky. Everything becomes a million times brighter! 🌧️✨ »
@yuliamaystrenko
« The locals believe in the existence of spirits, to whom they make daily offerings! It feels like Bali attracts people with its unique philosophy and atmosphere, rather than just its palm trees. »

« My first impression of Bali is something unimaginable. The currents bring heaps of debris from neighboring islands to the west, and for some reason during the off-season, whether it's rain or storms, the beaches of Jimbaran are quite messy. Kuta is a bit cleaner, but overall, it's still the same. »

« What's the difference between Thailand and Bali?

Friends, Bali and Thailand are like two different worlds, or even universes. They simply can't be compared! :) Thailand is like an old friend—always comfortable, cozy, ready to feed you well, help you sleep, and softly hum you a lullaby. Everything in Thailand is clear, open, and convenient. You always feel at home here. You come back as a long-awaited guest; they’re happy to see you, offer you shelter, and serve delicious food. Thailand wraps you in warm sunlight, purring "sabai-sabai, little one." It pampers you with comfort, feeds you enchanting coconut soups, and its markets are bursting with greenery and fruits.

And what about Bali? Here, everything is absolutely mysterious and veiled; spirits walk the roads, statues come alive at night, priests fall into trances and shout in strange voices, and locals are in prayer for much of their lives. Ceremonies take place everywhere, all the time. Everyone follows the lunar cycle, going for cleansing rituals—even tourists. There's something unseen but evidently tangible that captivates anyone who stays here longer than a couple of months.

Nature here is indescribably beautiful—rice fields, jungles, lakes, volcanoes, and the ocean. The Balinese people are wonderful; I can’t tell if they are from this planet, but they fulfill their purpose in life exceptionally well, moving forward clearly and purposefully. Magic fills the air. It’s an extraordinary, fairy-tale island.

But it’s not always easy to see this right away; on the contrary, the island often pushes you away, placing you in strange spots where it’s hard to grasp Bali's depth, seemingly filtering out the overwhelming influx of outsiders from its lands. Yes, in the first few months, you’re just a tourist, and the local order doesn’t concern you; even the spirits merely observe you from the sidelines, gently brushing against you with their whispering wings, leaving you puzzled, “What just happened?”

Some people end up staying here, unable to break free, as they sense an incredible depth that pulls them in more, making them want to feel and understand it even more... »

« Saying goodbye to Bali was bittersweet. Overall, it left a good impression, but dining can be quite pricey, especially if you're craving quality meat. »
@dkondrateva
« Before my trip to Bali, a few people told me, "Dina, this is a unique island. It’s pointless to make plans; a lot of strange things can happen here. Both good and bad, just relax—either the island will embrace you or it won't." »
@milena.holts
« It's great to have your own tropical "forest" in the backyard! I absolutely love the Balinese style in both the interior and exterior of a private home – lots (I mean, loads) of greenery, spaciousness, and airiness, an "outdoor" living room, an open-air shower, a canopy bed, ceiling fans... Overall, I’m totally into it!! It’s a pity it’s not really applicable in many climates. But here in Bali, it’s just perfect!! 🌴✨ »

« So many fruits, sunshine, warm rain, vibrant culture, stunning tropical nature, an incredibly mysterious underwater world, and lots of various things. The locals here believe they are the richest people on the planet. They make offerings to the gods in hopes of being reborn on this island in their family. For them, the greatest sorrow is not being born on Bali. Truly a magical place where one really wants to stay and live. 🌴✨ »
